== Managing and Applying Virtual Machine Snapshots ==
Once a virtual machine snapshot has been selected from the snapshot tree within the Hyper-V Manager tool, a number of tasks may be performed on that snapshot. These actions are listed both in the lower section of the ''Actions'' panel, or from a menu when right clicking on the snapshot:
<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="E3B" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-color:#cccccc; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom:20px">
<tr bgcolor="#cccccc" style="color:black" valign="top">
<th>
<p>Action</p>
</th>
<th>
<p>Description</p>
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Apply</td>
<td>Applies the snapshot to the virtual machine from which it was taken. The virtual machine will revert to the exact state it was in when the snapshot was taken. Any changes made to the virtual machine since the snapshot was will be lost. Hyper-V will provide the option to take a new snapshot of the virtual machine's current state before applying the old snapshot.</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#e9e9e6">
<td>Rename</td>

<tr>

</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#e9e9e6">
<td>Delete Snapshot Subtree</td>

</tr>
<tr>
